Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s get started, shall we? First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While that’s warming up, grab your pie crust and place it in the pie dish. I usually flip it over a couple of times to ensure it fits well in the pan. In a medium mixing bowl, I combine the sugar and cocoa powder, whisking them together until it’s smooth. The cocoa will add a rich, chocolaty aroma that fills my kitchen with warmth. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
